Mumbai: A lot of news reports started claiming that ‘Brahmastra’ co-stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have gotten too close to each other and might just start dating or already have started dating. Even fashion designer Manish Malhotra thought the couple might be the hook-up of the year, but Alia might have her eyes somewhere else.

According to a report on Mid-Day, Alia has grown fond of Kavin Mittal, who happens to be the founder of a messenger app.

Alia and Kavin met at the World Economic Forum held in New Delhi during October 2017, where the two of them reportedly spoke about following their passion.

A source told the daily, “They want to take time to let their friendship evolve. Given their commitments, they see little of each other. But it’s certainly a friendship that can go a long way.”
